BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Wednesday marked the 40 year anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, and many of his fans went to his final resting place to remember one of the most influential musical stars of the 20th century.
Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie, was there, helping thousands of Elvis fans on their candlelit pilgrimage through the Graceland estate and to his grave site.
“You grow up listening to all his albums as a teenager,” said one fan. “And it’s just a great loss.”
But this year, visitors got an unpleasant surprise. Participating in the procession is no longer free, and many longtime attendees protested outside the gates.

I remember those days, sitting in my room, playing his records over and over. Wish I had been able to see him in the 70's with his comeback tour. He was a hunk of burning love!
